"I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I decided that if I was able to tell you about my diagnosis then I should also be able to tell the rest"
"And how are you going to tell them?"
"That's the point, I don't want to announce it directly but I know that telling them indirectly won't be the same, do you have any ideas?"
"Maybe you could combine both, you could do the same you did with me, show them your notebook so that they can see that you have this situation and then explain it directly to help them understand it"
"That's a good idea, thank you sister"
"No problem, by the way, don't you have a meeting with them?"
"You're right, although I already know that it's not going to start on time"
"I swear, sometimes it seems Takevu does it on purpose"
"Not really, it's just not one of her strong points" He stood up "Anyway I should be going, see you later Safiya"
"See you brother"
While walking towards the place where the meeting would be, the future king started thinking about his decision, he had hidden his condition from them for 5 years, he had the feeling that at least Takevu had an idea that something wasn't alright with him, but she never asked him about it so he wasn't sure.
In the end he decided that it was time for them to know.
"Good morning guys" He greeted Hiroshi and Haru.
"Morning brother" Hiroshi replied "we're discussing the management of our troops right?"
"Yes, we have to organize our numbers" He looked at them "By the way have you seen Takevu?"
"I'm pretty sure she's coming" Haru said with a smirk "You know being punctual isn't in her vocabulary"
"Sorry I'm late!" They all glanced towards their running sister "I got lost, again"
"As always" The other three replied while rolling their eyes.
"A-Anyway" Takevu said while blushing from embarrassment "What are we going to discuss?"
After discussing how each of them would organize their army, they started going towards the weapon storage, when they entered one of the katanas stock fell down closely to Tai, although they didn't caused him a lot of damage, one of them made a cut on his arm, deep enough to draw blood but not to the point of being mortal.
"Tai are you okay?" Haru asked slightly worried.
"Ugh, y-yes I'm fine, it's only a small cut"
"Still, it's best that Haru cleans it" The young archer replied.
They went back to Tai's office where Safiya was taking notes on a map, seeing the four siblings enter at the same time, she stood up and went towards them.
"Did something happen?" Safiya asked.
"Tai got slightly hurt but I'm going to- " Haru had started moving his sleeve but when she glanced at his arm she stopped.
The three siblings noticed that his arm was covered in scars and something told them Tai was the one who put them there.
